港通(00032.HK):西隧收费须平衡股东利益及社会责任 维持稳定派息政策
早前有报道指港通控股(00032.HK)遭两基金股东迫宫,倡售资产并派逾15元特别息,该公司今日(18日)於股东周年大会结束後向传媒指,集团拥有香港西区隧道有限公司50%权益,并根据为期三十年之专营权经营西隧。有关专营权将於2023年7月届满,集团需保留高流动性资金作长远投资,以维持业务发展及稳定的派息政策。
公司称,过往一些基金投资了港通股票後,极力施压要求管理层将西隧的隧道费加至法例容许的极限,将增加的收益派发予股东,但管理层坚持要在股东利益与社会责任间作出平衡而拒绝配合。
此外,集团会不时收到不同的投资者建议,提出收购集团手上的资产。集团会持开放态度,积极考虑任何对公司及股东有利的方案。而集团亦会留意与公司业务相关的投资机会,尤其是基建项目,作为潜在的收购目标。集团会因应业务长期发展需要为大前提,作出购买或投资任何具体的业务及/或资产的决定。
集团一直维持稳定的派息政策,董事会及管理层乐於与各股东分享成果,同时亦会平衡集团的业务长期发展需要及股东最佳长期利益,一方面将继续积极做好业绩,另一方面为股东创造长远价值及可持续的回报。
